Dave,

According to David Lamparter, Quagga-babels work is using the same Zebra
interfaces as IS-IS, so the two should be able to merge at some point.
The outstanding issue is merging the releavant bits of Quagga-RE into
Quagga, which is something that should happen soon, for some value of soon
(at least Matthieu and David are discussing it).

Actually, it's running as we speak.  It's not feature complete yet
(there's no support for redistribution of source-sensitive routes), and
I haven't reviewed the code yet (I'm busy reviewing Matthieu's code and
merging babels into standalone babeld, check the branch called
"ss-tables-merge").

We'll hopefully end up with just two implementations before the end of the
summer:

 - Quagga (Babel, IS-IS, perhaps RIPng at some future point);
 - babeld (Babel).

I know.  Trouble is, my job is doing research, so any maintenance work
I do happens during my copious free time, which causes my family to
complain.  Could you please speak to my nephews?

(Getting GSOC funding and finding a competent student this summer was
a big help, babels-Quagga wouldn't have happened otherwise.)
